My Goals
I, Susan B. Anthony, propose equal rights for all. I believe that we should fight for women’s rights. We should unify women and African-American rights, so that everybody in the United States will have equality.
Accomplishments
I spoke for my first time at the Third Annual National Women’s Rights Convention in 1852. Ever since them, I participated in every annual Women’s Rights Convention and even served as president in 1858. To help out with African American rights, I became an agent for the American Anti-Slave Society of New York. Later, in 1868, I published a weekly journal named The Revolution. I worked as publisher and business manager. In the journal we mostly spoke about women and African American rights, but we also wrote about equal pay for equal work and more liberal divorce laws. In the National Women’s Suffrage Association, I tried to unite women into the labor union, but was not very successful. I also tried to vote in 1872 but was arrested for it. A great accomplishment of mine was the book I and other suffragists wrote: The History of Women’s Suffrage. I gave my whole life into women’s rights, until I died in 1906.
Reference
Elizabeth Cady Stanton- my good friend that I met in Seneca Falls in 1851. She helped me get started in all of the suffragist associations. We worked hard to make sure that women would have the same rights as men.
Helen Barrett Montgomery- is a fellow suffrage like me. We joined together in 1893 to form the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union in Rochester. Five years later we raised funds to give opportunities for women students to study at the University of Rochester.
